How to learn the tarot cards

Learning all 78 cards feels easier when you build one skill at a time. This four-step path moves from simply recognising the artwork to recalling each card's meaning from memory. Work through it in order, in short and frequent sessions, and start with the 22 Major Arcana before taking on the four suits.

  1. 1Get familiar with the artwork Memory MatchA relaxed matching game that gets the imagery of the deck into your eye — no memorising required.
  2. 2Test your recognition Name That CardSee a card and name it. This locks in the link between each image and its name.
  3. 3Study the meanings FlashcardsFlip through all 78 cards to learn upright and reversed meanings, by suit or arcana.
  4. 4Prove you know them Meaning MatchQuiz yourself on meanings in both directions to turn study into lasting recall.

As you study, look up anything you want to explore further in our tarot card meanings guide, or put your learning into practice with a free tarot reading.

Frequently asked questions

How can I learn tarot for free?

Every activity here is free and needs no account. Start with the memory game to get familiar with the artwork, study meanings with the flashcards, then test yourself with the Name That Card and Meaning Match quizzes. Your progress is saved in your browser.

How long does it take to learn all 78 tarot cards?

Most people learn the 22 Major Arcana in a week or two of short daily sessions, and the full 78-card deck over a month or so. Frequent, focused practice works far better than occasional cramming.

Do I have to memorise every card to read tarot?

No. It helps to know the cards, but you can read with the keywords and your intuition while you learn. The flashcards and quizzes simply make that recall faster and more confident over time.

What is the best order to learn the cards?

Build visual familiarity first (Memory Match), then recognition (Name That Card), then meanings (Flashcards), and finally test recall in both directions (Meaning Match). Learn in small batches — start with the Major Arcana before the four suits.
